The Robot Went Out of Control After Being Abandoned - Chapter 3

Chapter 3

The instant the private-room door was pushed open, I nearly jumped out of my skin because of the comments and shoved away the male model beside me.

The comments were startled:

[Meibao reacted so fast! The villain didn’t even get a clear look and only thought the male model’s seduction had failed… She actually managed to avert disaster!]

Hearing the door open, Su Qingya frowned at Nian Zhou.

“Who said you could come in without knocking?”

Nian Zhou seemed to come back to himself. His dark eyes lowered, and his voice was slightly hoarse. “I came to take my Master home. Today is our anniversary.”

Seeing how pitiful he looked, my heart softened completely, and I instinctively wanted to go over and comfort him.

[The villain is so calculating! He meticulously records Meibao’s preferences every time, then acts pitiful to win her sympathy… The moment Meibao softens, he’ll greedily leave his mark on her.]

I killed the thought of getting up.

In a cold voice, I said, “Go home by yourself. I’m going with Qingya. I don’t need you to pick me up.”

He suddenly raised his eyes, which had turned red.

His lips trembled. “Why… Does Master not like me anymore?”

Seeing my pale face, Su Qingya felt a pang of sympathy.

She glanced at Nian Zhou with a mocking expression.

“Since when are robots qualified to have romantic feelings for their masters? How ridiculous!”

“A disobedient thing like that should be taken out and melted down. Then you can buy a new one.”

With that, she had the server escort Nian Zhou out.

The comments were on the verge of tears:

[Meibao, you’re being an idiot! You should go home with the villain, coax him a little, and explain that you were at the club keeping your best friend company. Even a lie would be fine-]

[Otherwise, he’ll be pushed into completely losing control. He’ll grip your waist and do it to you over and over… You won’t even be able to make a sound while crying!]

My heart gave a violent jolt.

I could almost see the scene unfolding before me, and my lower abdomen tightened.

Without even thinking about abandoning my resolve to cut off my feelings for Nian Zhou completely, I abruptly stood up.

Under Su Qingya’s incredulous gaze, I apologized. “Qingya, let’s talk another time. I have something to take care of, so I’ll be leaving first.”

“You still can’t let go of Nian Zhou?”

“He’s only a robot. Don’t develop real feelings for him! Have you forgotten what happened to Brother Lin next door when we were little?”

Her brows drew tightly together, her eyes filled with concern.

I bit down hard on my lower lip, nodded, and hurried away.

When I pushed open the door, I discovered that Nian Zhou had already disappeared.

There was a long distance between the club and the luxury apartment. I made my way to the underground parking garage, only to realize that I had lost my keys.

I called Qingya, but her line was busy.

I was pacing by the roadside, preparing to hail a cab, when a familiar license plate suddenly flashed before my eyes.

The car window rolled down, revealing a familiar, stern face.

His sharply defined features were marked by an aloofness that kept everyone at a distance. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses rested on the bridge of his nose, giving him the air of a refined scoundrel.

“Get in.”

My heart stopped.

In the car, I clasped my hands together to hide my nervousness. “Mr. Lu, weren’t you overseas expanding into foreign markets? Why did you come back early?”

Lu Zhouming’s throat felt dry and tight.

“Have things between us really gotten so bad… that you’re calling me Mr. Lu now?”

“We haven’t seen each other for four years. I heard you’ve become a top agent. Do you have any artists under you now who can replace me?”

I lowered my eyes and said nothing.

How could there be anyone…

He gripped the steering wheel with one hand and glanced at me, restraining the surging emotions inside him.

“If I keep acting, will you come back to me? Will you be my agent again?”

The car stopped downstairs.

At last, I spoke in a hoarse, strained voice. “…No.”

Lu Zhouming was a genius. At twenty-five, he won the Best Actor award. Now, he was also in control of Lu Corporation, a legend in the media’s reports.

Now that he had returned to the country, forget becoming his agent-even standing beside him was something people would pay a fortune for.

It was just that…

“Ruirui, aren’t you going to invite me upstairs for a while?”

“The place is a mess. I’ll invite you another day.”

I didn’t know if I had heard wrong, but his voice sounded choked with emotion.

“Give me your number. You’ve blocked mine.”

The Maybach had been gone for a long time, yet I was still standing there in a daze, unable to recover.

When I came back to myself, I saw the comments flooding across the screen like a tide:

[Oh my god! She reunited with the male lead just like that? It’s happening even earlier than in the original plot!]

[The male lead’s eyes just now were so shattered and heartbroken. He really loves Meibao, but… please, I need them to get back together!]

I frowned.

Lu Zhouming was the male lead, and he loved me deeply… How could that be?

He and I…

After a wave of agitation, I gathered my emotions and stepped into the elevator.

When I opened the door, the apartment was pitch-black.

As I approached the entryway, I saw a figure standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, his face shrouded in darkness.

Just as I reached for the light switch, the comments suddenly erupted in screams.

[Oh my god! A full-blown confrontation!]

[The villain has been standing by the window, staring down at the street. He saw everything-the male lead bringing the female lead home-and he’s gone mad with jealousy!]

[On the most important Bonding Anniversary, Meibao deceived him, and then he saw her with her former lover. Who wouldn’t be hurt by that?]

[Robots have stronger desires and less restraint than ordinary people. He was already on the verge of breaking down tonight, and then he received this kind of stimulus…]

[Meibao can’t escape. She’s about to be punished badly!]

My body went rigid.

At that moment, Nian Zhou turned from the floor-to-ceiling window and approached me step by step. His calm voice concealed a turbulent jealousy.

“Who was that man?”

I instinctively retreated in panic.

But my heel struck the shoe cabinet with a loud thud.

At that moment, my heart stopped.
